What version are you using? The docs here http://htmldoc.org/htmldoc.html 
show now --from/to-code options.

And what charset does your TYPO3 installation use (in the DB)? This value 
must be used in config.renderCharset, so TYPO3 can load the data correct 
from the DB. You may use another charset for config.metaCharset. TYPO3 will 
now convert the data from the DB ino the desired output charset for your 
HTML page. Use this charset as option in your htmldoc command.

# DB charset (same as BE[forceCharset])
config.renderCharset = utf-8
# output charset
config.renderCharset = iso-8859-1

$cmd[] = '/usr/bin/htmldoc';
$cmd[] = '--charset iso-8859-1';
